Looks like the Gamefront link is corrupted it. Stated filesize is 682 MB, but I keep downloading a 512 MB file....

Alright thank you, I'll check that out. A moddb link should be up within a day or two, or a freespacemods link if I get an activation email...which I haven't gotten...after the 3rd try...

BTA if you want I'll let you use my FSmods account.

Oh no its fine, I believe FSmods is down atm anyways and I've made a Mediafire account to prevent a further issue like this again. Hopefully this works.

I am working on mirroring this.

EDIT:

And done.

Let me know if corrections need be made.

I'm going to be cool and add it to the release post.

Hey guys, I was trying to run dust wars on a 3.16.19 build and it seems like the player I had got corrupted in some fashion.  I can't load FSO anymore, no matter what mod configuration I run.  I can tell something is wrong by looking at the log, but I can't seem to come up with a solution from it.  I used a player that had already started another campaign because of the change in pilot code.

I tried reverting to 3.16.18 with no success.  It will no longer load at all and hangs at the loading screen without spitting out an error. :/  (I'm on vista, btw)

If someone could help me out, that would be awesome! :]

[NeonShivan]

This sounds like a problem with the build itself. I don't believe the mod itself has caused this but I can't be for certain.

Maybe 3.6.19 corrupted something?

[Cyborg17]

That's what I'm wondering.  Like I said, I don't really know what's going on.  I'll give it a try again tomorrow maybe.

[Nyctaeus]

I played it, and it was quite good. I have a few objections. Music in the whole campaign was just a whirl of everything, ultra-epic battle track from BP after something a bit more ordinary, and than a ASW track. You should make music in DW more uniform [but please, not in the BP direction ]. I was also a bit suprised, when our destroyer destroyed shiv... Anshari juggernaut without any problems from her. Jugg just stayed and did nothing, waiting to be destroyed. It should run away when damaged or something. This mission for me is to be rewritten. Rest of them are rather good, I enjoyed the atmospheric mission with planetary cannons and good music .

[Jellyfish]

You seriously did a lot of work on it since I tested it. It shows, as it went from very good to awesome!
If you want testers for Act 2, I again am at your service.

Thank you for the feedback, I was thinking of using different music but I'd need to get permission from different companies to do so, which is something I've never done so I'll try that. As for the destroyer well, she isn't important to the story, much like the SD Ravana in the original Freespace 2 campaign as it just sat there waiting to die. You'll meet the true enemy soon enough.

Why thank you Jelly, I'll keep that noted.

[General Battuta]

You don't need to get permission from anyone. As long as you're not selling your work for a profit, you can claim fair use.

[chief1983]

That may be true, but as HLP doesn't have not-for-profit status, and we're the source of the content, it could potentially be seen as a means for us to be drawing an audience and thus profit to the site.  It probably wouldn't come down on HLP directly, but it could lead to it being requested to be removed from the site.

People can pull the offending tracks if that issue comes up. It hasn't so far, and we've had years of opportunity.

[bigchunk1]

Let's just call HLP campaigns 'education' to avoid legal issues.

[NeonShivan]

 

I feel that this is clearly necessary but. I wish to announce that Act 2 is officially in the works. More information about Act 2 will be released in a separate thread when the time is right. Thank you for your positive feedback for Act 1 and hopefully I continue to serve the Hard-Light community righteously with Act 2.

I have a strange issue: I don't manage to extract the .rar archive I downloaded from freespacemods.net. I can see the complete file tree in the GUI, but there seems to be no way to get it extracted even using command line... any idea? (I'm running Kubuntu 13.04)

Did you try extracting it using WinRAR?

[whitearrow]

ok, ehm... I managed to extract the archive. But the thing is becoming even more stranger. My FSO installation doesn't lay on the system partition but on another one. I had no problems in extracting any other archive other than .rar.... When I moved it to the system's partition everything worked fine... 

[whitearrow]

to LINUX USERS: remember that everything in linux is case sensitive, so check that all folders' names in ./FreeSpace2/Dusk_Wars/data are written in small case. If the name starts in capital case e.g. "Tables" change it to "tables". Otherwise they won't be loaded.
